Here is the output of that command:
/usr/local/lib/libxmms.la:dependency_libs=' -L/usr/lib
-L/usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/libgtk.la /usr/lib/libgdk.la /usr/lib/libgmodule.la /usr/lib/libgthread.la /usr/lib/libglib.la
-lpthread -ldl -lXi -lXext -lX11 -lm'

I had noticed "-lxmms" in the error message the other night when I had
to run out the door real quick.  I have xmms (compiled from source)
installed on /usr/local.

I am building kdenetwork in it's entirety.

The really frustrating thing is that I tried it again last night (after
my last email to you) and now it works.  I went back and tried
recompiling kdeutils, and this time it did not bail on superkaramba.  I
suppose I should just be glad that this is not an issue any more (fore
the moment)  But I would prefer to know where the fault actually was :)
Ironically, I went right from Fedora Core 3 to Fedora Core 5.  I
skipped Fedora Core 4 because of way to many issues building KDE from
SVN.  I must say that compiling KDE on Fedora Core 5 has been a lot
more successful than on FC4.  With FC3, it "Just Worked" :)
